Shimano SLX M7100 brake lever replacement?

[Ynk1]

Had a big off on the weekend and snapped the brake lever, does anyone know if this can be replaced or will I need a whole new unit ? Photos show the damage

I don't have your answer, but may help you prevent this happening again. If you do it up enough so that it won't move under normal operation but will if you wrench it. All I do is tighten till I can't move it with a bit of effort. Use thread locker. I've never had a motorcycle or mtb lever break - they just move on impact.

Thanks for that tip , will do that but hopefully not test it ?

I found a part # - you can search whatever is local to you: Y2S798020

It’s a bit of a pain to press that retaining pin out with out damaging the small plastic ring that sits around it, but it can be done. Not sure how easily you will find just the lever blade on its own though

I ordered a set of flo motorsport pro 120 levers last week from the US , delivered today and just fitted them , 5 min job to fit and hopefully will never snap again

SNAP! (sic) I ordered exactly the same Flo Motorsports ones when I bust mine. Works a treat, and feels nicer IMHO.

Hint: Loosen the brake lever unit retaining bolt slightly so if it does take an impact it will rotate slightly rather than snapping off the whole unit.
